WEBSTER ; S DICTIONARY. 



The following are a part of the numerous recommendations received by the publishers. 
The estimation in which Dr. Webster's Dictionary is held by gentlemen of erudition, appear 
from the following testimonials. 

The merits of Dr. Webster's American Dictionary of the English Language, are very exten- 
sively acknowledged by that part of the community for whose immediate use it was designed. 
We regard it as a great improvement on all the works which have preceded it. The etymolo- 
gical department throws new and striking light on the history of language ; the vocabulary is 
enlarged by the addition of many thousand words, comprising the technical words of science and 
the arts, words not found in other dictionaries, and many of them the words for the precise 
meaning of which the general reader is most frequently at a loss; the orthography of several* 
classes of words, instead of following cumbrous and obsolete modes of spelling, is conformed fo 
the present usage of the best writers; and the definitions have a character of discrimination, 
copiousness, perspicuity, and accuracy, not found, we believe, in any odier dictionary of the Eng- 
' lish language. 

The foregoing commendation is signed by 
Jeremiah Day, D. D. President of Yale College ; 
Simeon Baldwin, late Judge of the Superior Court; 
David Daggett, Judge of the Superior Court ; 

Benjamin Siiliman, L. L. D. Professor of Chemistry, SfC. Yale College ; 
William Bristol, Judge of the District Court ; 
Rev. Nathaniel W. Taylor, S. T. D.; 

James L. Kingsley, Professor of Hebrew fyc, Yale College; 
Chauncy A. Goodrich, Professor of Rhetoric, fyc., Yale College ; 
Denison Olmstead, Professor of mathematics, $?c, Yale College ; 

In the preceding recommendation of the American Dictionary, &c. signed Mr. Day and others, 
we cheerfully concur: 
Joshua Bates, President of the Middlebury College; 
John Hough, Professor of Languages, do. ; 
William C. Fowler, Professor of Chemistry, SfC., do. ; 
Edward Turner, Professor of Matt, and Nat. Phil., do. 

The recommendation of President Day and others, distinguished gentlemen, would be decisive 
with me as to the merit and utility of Dr. Webster's works. I also have had occasion to use and 
examine his quarto Dictionary, and the octavo abridgment of it by Mr. Worcester. Each of 
them appears to me to be executed with great care, learning, and ability. I cheerfully concur 
in the opinion that they form a very valuable addition to our lexicography, and deserves the pa- 
tronage of the American public. 

JOSEPH STORY, Judge of the Supreme Court of the U. S. and Prof, of Law in the Uni- 
versity of Cambridge. 

I agree with Mr. Justice Story in the sentiments which he has expressed, and I am satisfieiS 
that an attempt to reduce into a system, the doi'Mful orthography of the language, and to dimin- 
ish the number of its anomalies, would meet with the approbation of the public : and thai n# 
one is better qualified for the task than Dr. Webster. 

WILLIAM CRANCH, 
Judge of the Supreme Court in tire District of Columbia. 



The following testimonial is subscribed by the members of Congress whose names are annexed j 
" The subscribers highly appreciate Dr. Webster's purpose and attempt to improve the English 
anguage, by rendering its orthography more simple, regular, and uniform, and by removing diffi- 
culties arising from its anomalies. It is very desirable that one standard dictionary should be 
used by the numerous millions of people who are to inhabit the vast extent of territory belong- 
ing to the United States; as the use of such a standard may prevent the formation of dialects in 
states remote from each other, and impress upon the language uniformity and stability. It is 
desirable also that the acquisition of the language should be rendered easy, not only to our own 
citizens, but to foreigners who wish to gain access to the rich stores of science which it contains. 
We rejoice that the American Dictionary bids fair to become such a standard, and we sincerely 
hope that the author's elementary books for primary schools and academies will commend them- 
selves to the general use of our fellow citizens." 
Washington, Feb. 1831.

PREFACE. 



-*♦»©©*"- 



This volume is designed to furnish counting houses and primary schools, 
with a vocabulary of the words which constitute the body of the English 
language, with a very brief definition of each. The orthography and pro 
nunciation are, according to those in my Quarto Dictionary, with some cor 
rections. The better to present to the student the true pronunciation, the 
words are divided into syllables, and the syllable on which the stress is laid 
is marked with an accent, or with a point over the vowel. This division of 
syllables, with the key at the top of each page, will guide the inquirer to the 
true pronunciation. 

As it is not possible to comprise all the derivative, as well as primitive 
words, with all technical terms, in a book so small as to accommodate the 
common people of this country, the more difficult and uncommon technical 
words are omitted, as are some of the participles of verbs, which are regu- 
Jar in their formation. Those which are irregular, or not of easy formation, 
are inserted. 

The anomalous sounds of the vowels are designated by points, or marks, as 
are certain distinctions in the use of the consonants. The unaccented 
vowels are left without any directions for the pronunciation ; as it is not easy, 
or even possible, to express on paper the nice distinctions which the ear 
recognizes in a rapid enunciation of slight sounds. The true pronunciation 
of such vowels is best caught by the ear; and it is deemed worse than use- 
less to encumber words with a multiplicity of marks or figures. The un- 
accented vowels are mostly short, and if they have their long sound, it is 
slightly pronounced. 

Differences in orthography and pronunciation, which amount to thou- 
sands in the English books, present to the lexicographer, difficulties and 
perplexities, which no other person can duly estimate. Many of the discre- 
pancies are evidently owing to mere negligence in the authors, who huve 

1 



ii PREFACE. 

followed local usage or particular authorities, without observing the settled 
analogies of the language. Such errors as appear clearly to have pro- 
ceeded from such negligence, I have corrected. In other cases, there is 
no analogy by which doubts can be removed ; and the English books differ 
so much that they furnish no rule of decision. Hence it follows necessa- 
rily that my own decisions must clash with some of them; but I have at- 
tempted, in all cases, to bring words, as much as possible, under the con- 
trol of well established principles. 

While 1 was engaged in writing the Quarto Dictionary and in the supervision 
of the press, I was so much occupied with the more difficult departments 
of the work, the etymologies and definitions, that some errors in orthogra- 
phy escaped observation, which an exclusive attention to that subject 
would have prevented. These I have corrected ; and a further considera- 
tion of some points, has induced me to make a few alterations. Hence 
some discrepancies will be found between that work and this. Other dis- 
crepancies will appear between this work and the octavo edition, some of 
which I should have prevented, if I had been able to superintend the prepa- 
ration of the copy for the press. But the number of these I am not able to 
ascertain; as it is not probable that I shall ever again read the whole of 
that or of the quarto edition. My intense and long continued labors ren- 
der repose essential to my health and comfort, during the short period of life 
which remains. 

But the reader is informed that wherever discrepancies appear between this 
work and the larger ones, this duodecimo volume, my last work, all written 
and corrected by myself, is to be considered as containing the pointing, or- 
thography, and pronunciation which I most approve. 

The general rule which I have observed in settling the orthography of 
ceitain classes of words, is Uniformity in words of like formation ; that is, a 
rule without an exception ; for exceptions give to learners more trouble than 
rules. 

EXAMPLES. 

1. Favor, candor, ardor, labor, color, clamor, parlor, error, tenor, honor,, 
splendor, rigor, armor, vigor, vapor, valor, inferior, superior, &c, and the 



PREFACE. m 

derivatives in the same manner without u, that the pupil need not be 
troubled with the u in labour, and the omission of it in laborious; u in in- 
feriour, and not in inferiority, &c. 

2. Music, public, cubic, and all similar words from the Greek and Lai in, 
and some formed in analogy with them, without k. Most of these admit the 
terminations, «Z, and ally ; as musical, musically ; and it is inconvenient to 
add k to the primitive word, musick, and be obliged to omit it in musical. 
Besides, the mark used in my books on c, when it has the use of k, super- 
sedes the necessity of k. 

Exceptions. — Words which may be used as verbs, retain k, on aceounj. 
of the past tense and participles ; as traffick, trafficked ; frolick, frolicking. 

Words of Teutonic and Gothic origin, having never lost k, and not ad- 
mitting an additional syllable, retain k ; as hemlock, fetlock, wedlock. 
Monosyllables are also excepted ; as sick, lick, lock ; most of which may 
be used as verbs. 

3. Defense, expense, offense, pretense, recompense, with s ; not solely 
•because the Latin originals have s, but because the derivatives, defensive, 
expensive, offensive, pretension, recompensing, must be written with s, 

4. Blamable, abatable, debatable, movable, ratable, salable, reconcila- 
ble, and all similar words without e, except after c and g ; as noticeable 
changeable. A 

5. Befall, miscall, install, recall, forestall, enthrall, retain the 11 ; for if one 
I is omitted in the primitive word, it must be restored in the participles, be- 
falling, &c. ; and it is a general rule in the language, that a before 11, has 
its broad sound ; (mall and shall excepted.) Hence, if written befai, mis- 
cal, the pronunciation. may be easily mistaken. , For this reason il should. 
be retained in the nouns installment, inthrailment. 

6. Foretell, distill, instill, fulfill, retain // in the primitive, for it must be 
retained in the participles and other derivatives ; as foretelling, distiller, 
& c. In this case the pupil has only to learn that the spelling of the original 
words, tell, still, fill, is retained in all the derivatives. 

7. Connection, deflection, inflection, reflection, follow the spelling of the 
verbs, connect, deflect, inflect, reflect. Complex and reflex are considered 
as the primitives of a different analogy, and the common spelling is retained 



iv PREFACE. 

8. All verbs, formed from the Latin and Greek izo, and others formed 
in analogy with them, are written with the termination ize , as generalize, 
legalize, moralize. See the Elementary Spelling Book, Sect. 137, 138. This 
termination and ism, never change the accent of the original word. 

Words directly from the French priser, and others from the French, gene- 
rally retain the letter s ; as surprise, enterprise, comprise, devise, rev ise 
merchandise. 

9. When verbs of two or more syllables, end in a single unaccented 
consonant, preceded by a single vowel, the final consonant is not doubled 
jft the derivatives. Thus we should write appareled, canceled, caviling, 
caviler, duelist, libeled, libelous, equaled, rivaled, traveler, traveling, quar 
reling,"^c. See a list of these verbs in the Elementary Spelling Book 
Sect. 149. 

This rule, always admitted to be just, has been violated, probably from 
mere heedlessness ; there being no more propriety in doubling the conso- 
nant in caviling, libeling, than in limiting, pardoning, delivering. 

Dull, skill, will, full, &c. retain 11 in all their derivatives, to prevent the 
inconvenience of exceptions to a rule. I see no reason for omitting one I 
in dullness, fullness, skillful, willful, which would not require the omission 
of one s in blissful, distressful. 

The orthography of dispatch, instructor, visitor, which Johnson altered 
without any good reason, not only in opposition to the practice of all that 
cluster of distinguished authors who adorned the bejpHhing of the last cen- 
tury, but in contradiction of his own practice, in sjpfte of his writings, has 
been restored. M 

The orthography of a few words, the etymology of which has been mis- 
taken, as furlow, chimist, melasses, mold, jifar, redout, redoutable, con- 
troller, and a few others, has been correcJMH. The usual orthography is 
palpably erroneous. 

In many words which belong to no cfifss, and which are differently writ- 
ten in our books, I have adopted the Orthography which is most simple, or 
most agreeable to the etymology or to the pronunciation.

DIRECTIONS. 

This mark ( ') always indicates the accented syllable. When it is placed immediately after a 
vowel, that vowel has its first or long sound ; thus, ha'tred, me'ter, bri'er, ho'ly, hu'inan, decry/. 
This sound is also designated by a horizontal mark over the vowel, thus ; face, mete, ice, cold, 
rude, cry. 

When the mark of accent follows a consonant, the preceding vowel, if single, and nut pointed, 
is short ; as in ab'sent, defend', predict', alledg'e, convuls'e. 

When the accent is placed after, or in a syllable that contains a pointed vowel, or a diphthong, 
that vowel or diphthong has its proper sound; as in debar', remov'e, adjoin', annoy', avow', 
abound', rejoie'e. 

The vowel e, at the end of a word, forms no syllable in any word of English origin ; but when 
it follows a consonant, preceded by a single vowel, it indicates that vowel to be lung, as in 'ate. 
tnete, Tiote, tune, agve. When it follows two or mote consonants, the vowel of that s] [able, if 
tinpoimed, is usually short, as in abridge, lodge. 

A double, accent before ci and li, indicates that these letters are pronounced like sh, an<l rln.se 
the syllable ; thus, vi"cious, factitious, ini"tial, are pronounced vish'ous, faetiah'ous, inish'al. 

When a word of more syllables than one has a pointed vowel, and no mark of accent, the 
pointed vowel designates the accented syllable. Some words, mostly compounds, have two syl- 
lables with pointed vowels ; in which case there is little difference of accent. 

When of two vowels together, one only is pointed, that has the sound indicated by the point, 
-and the other is mute ; as course, braid, hoarse, fruit, allay, flow. 

The digraphs ee, ea, e>, ie, when neither vowel is pointed } have the sound of e long — ai and ny, 
the sound of a long, and oa, that of o long. 

Letters in the italic character are silent. 

The letters gh are never pronounced, except in a few words which are noted in their place 

In all words beginning with W&, the h precedes w in pronunciation, except in a few words 
which are noted in their plai e. 

H after r is always silent, as in rhetoric. 

G and K before n are always silent, as in gnat, know. 

I after / has usually a liquid sound, like y in alien, pronounced alyen 

W before r is mute, as in wrest, pronounced rest. 

E final in the terminations hie, cle, die, Jle, gle, kle, pie, tie, zle, is silent. 

The combinations ce, ci, ti before a vowel are usually pronounced as sh; as in cetaceous, gra- 
cious, ingratiate, pronounced cetashus, grashus, ingrasJiate. It is said in some English books, 
that, in many such words, cor t alone has the sound of sh, and therefore ingratiate is to be pro- 
nounced rigrasheate. This is a great mistake, it is the combination of c or t with the following 
vowel, that forms the sound of»sA ,- and the measure of English verse, in all the best Enghth 
poetiy, requires this combination to be thus pronounced. 

1* 



« DIRECTIONS. 

The sound of a before *•, is that of ai ; as in snare, parent, prepare- 

The combination lion usually forms a single syllable, pronounced short or shun, as in ntofltoi, 
conviction. 

""he. combination sion forms in like manner, a single syllable, pronounced shun, as in confess 
sion But after a vowel, it is usually pronounced zhun, as in fusion, contusion. A few exceptions 
to these rules are noted in their place ; as is the pronunciation of the combinations sier, zier. 

Ph have the sound off, as in philosophy, pronounced filosofy. 

P before s is mute, as in psalm, psalter. 

C, after s, and before e, i, and y is usually silent, as in scene, science, Scythian, pronounced 
sene, sience, Sythian. Before k, c is considered as silent, as in sick, lock. 

Ou and ow, when ois not pointed, are diphthongs, and pronounced uniformly, as in sound, vows. 

The diphthongs oi and oy have their proper sound, as in join, joy. 

Axi and aw are digraphs, and have tiie sound of broad a in fall. 

Two accents between n and g, or after g, indicate that ng are pronounced with a close articula- 
tion, as in fin"ger, lon"ger. 

The pronunciation of the vowel in a derivative word is usually the same as in the primitive* 
Thus, firm being pronounced ferra, the derivatives are to be pronounced in the same manner; as 
fermness. 

As asterisk or star, after the past tense or participle of a verb indicates that the final letter d 
may be and usually is blended in pronunciation with the preceding syllable, the vowel e being 
dropped, as claimd for claimed. Alter k, p, q, s, sh, x, d is pronounced :\s,t; as deckt for decked, 
&e. But in derivatives, tne letters eil usually form a distinct syllable. Tims, though blessed is 
pronounced blest, yet blessedness must be pronounced in three syllables; confessed maybe in two 
syllables; but confessedly must be pronounced in four syllables. This ru'e appli« also to adjectives* 

Words wiih this mark t are considered as unsettled in pronunciation. 

U is pronounced yu in nature, capture, and some words of similar formation; but, as no two- 
writers or speakers agree in the words to which this pronunciation extends, no rule can be given 
on the subject.

JVbfc. In this work, an attempt has been made to reduce certain classes of words to imifttt- 
mity of orthography. If any mistakes have escaped notice, they cannot be numerous. 

In a few words, with the initial syllables, em, en, im, in, there are diversities of orthography 
in authors so numerous and respectable, that I have not ventured to omit either one or the othe? 
mode of spelling. The following are here given in the orthography which I prefer : — embody 
embolden, emboss, embowel, embower, empoison, embase, empower ; imbank, imbitter, impair-, 
impassion, imparlance, implead, impannel ; enchant, encumber, enhance, enlist, entreat, entrance^ 
entwine ; incage, incase, ingraft, inclose, inquire, iasnare, indorse, insure, intrust, re-enlbrc®*

NEW FRENCH WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. 

A variety of weights and measures having been used in the different provinces of France 
u-nder the ancien' form of government, loe new government has ordained new standards of 
weights and measures, fojnded on nature, and therefore permanent. The standard :>f 



535 



measure is a meridional circle of the earth, which has been, for this purpose, accurately 
ascertained by m-n of science, and particularly in 1797, by the mensuration of degrees of 
latitude between Dunkirk and Bar-elonia. The whole circle, divided into 40 million pas«3, 
or the quadrant of 90 degrees, into 10 million parts, gives *he unity of length, called a meter, 
which is equal to 36 inches French, and 11,290 lines, equal to 39 inches and 371 decimal 



parts English.

A chiliol'iter Gal. 264 and 44-231 cubic inches. 

* Authorities do not perfectly agree in the fractions. Pinkerton gives 0242 as the deci- 
mals of this measure. 

WEIGHTS. 

The unity of weight is a gram. It is precisely the weight of a quantity of pure wate* 
equal to a cubic centimeter, which is the 1,100th of a meter, and is equal to 15 grains and 
444 decimals troy.

The unity is an are which is a square decameter, equal to 3 perches 95 decimals. The 
de'ciare is a tenth of the are — the cent'iare b a hundredth of the are. and equal to a square 
meter. The mill'iare is l-000th of the are. The dec'are is equal to 10 are*; the hectare
